"STICK IT OUT."

lIERR BALLIN'S ADVICE TO

GERMANY

ANOTHER YEAR'S WAR PREDICTED,

(Australian, ami 1f.71. Cable Association.') . NEW YORK, Scplembe.iyl. lleri' von Wiegand, Beijin oorresjiaiiilent 'of the' New York World'gained an interview with TTerr Ballin, managing director of the Ilamburg-Amerika Line.

In the course of his remarks Herr Ballin said:—

' The war will probably last another year, The question of who can stick out the longest will decide the war. For the moment the 'other side has scored a moral vic-

tory. This has had the effect of dissipating war weariness in the Allies and has aroused new hopes. The question is how long the revivified war spirit will last. Whatever happens in ' the next few months will neither decide nor end the war. After the war Germany will be better able to begin a peaceful reconstruction 'of trade than England. .Germany will owe the

greater part of the debt to her y own people, while England -will \be under an enormous debt to America, Our motto is: "Stick it out • to .the end, endure through everything, and keep.'our mouths shut."

Concluding Herr/von Ballin said: Germany is quite prepared, Her ileet of merchantmen has been greatly increased and the German navy and- air fleet will be more active than ever," ALIEN LAWLESSNESS.
